The videos displayed here are ultra-high definition 4-K video. The aerial photographs are still-frames taken from the 4-K video and can be as large as some gbs each. The complete edited videos displayed here on the Vimeo platform are also for sale. By that I mean that a corporate entity can buy the right to have their name at the front and end of the video with a corporate logo throughout the video. The video can then be uploaded to YouTube to achieve maximum exposure. Some of these videos have been uploaded to Facebook where, within days, they had tens of thousands of views. The images and photos you see here are just a small selection of the video I have taken over the last year.

I have a license issued by the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority to do 'aerial work'. Any operator of a Small Unmanned Aircraft (drone) who wishes to be paid for any aerial work must have a license/permit issued by the BCAA. Along with the registration fees payable to the BCAA, a licensed drone operator must also have over a million dollars in liability insurance.

I have been passionate about many things in life including: sailing, wildlife, flying, traveling, mountains, the ocean, humpback whales and my family- not necessarily in that order, although the sequence does represent a chronological order of how my interests evolved. I grew up in Hong Kong, India, Scotland/London, Kenya, Malaysia/Singapore and Canada. As an adult I have also lived in France, Norway and Tanzania and worked extensively in Southern Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mali, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Indonesia. Some of my favorite destinations so far are Bhutan, Antarctica, Svalbard and the Galapagos Islands. My immediate family have lived in Bermuda for some decades. Although I am British and Canadian, I have a Kiwi wife and my two daughters, Elsa and Somers have dual passports- from Canada and New Zealand. I've been taking photographs since I was a teenager and have written some eleven books published in eight countries including two photographic books. Despite post graduate academic education in International Economics and a false start and a short career in the financial world, I have always followed my heart and passions, changing careers readily and frequently.I started making films in 2005 and have single-handedly produced, directed, filmed, narrated and edited two documentaries, "Paving Shangri La" filmed in the Himalayas and "Where the Whales Sing" filmed in Bermuda.

For a decade now I have been researching the humpback whales and I have now identified well over one thousand four (1,400) individual humpback whales here in Bermuda from the unique patterns on the underside of their flukes (tails). For more details check my website www.whalesbermuda.com I am making another film, a sequence to my award-winning "Where the Whales Sing" using aerial imagery- which is why I started flying a drone in 2015. The images and video you see on this website are the results of my training flights to better film the whales when they come through Bermuda. I have a commercial license to operate a Small Unmanned Aircraft (drone) issued by the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority and a permit to research the humpback whales issued by the Bermuda Department of Conservation.

An aerial perspective is something that fascinates me and I am one of those people who insists on sitting by a window when I fly commercially and I will happily stay glued to that window throughout the flight amazed that I am able to see the world from above. Although I had my own Cessna 182 when I was in my twenties in Tanzania, East Africa, and went on to obtain a commercial pilot's license in Canada, an eleven-year old who plays video games would have more skills flying a drone than I. I would like to claim that flying a drone is a genetic talent (my father flew Spitfires) but the truth is- it is becoming very easy. I call the drone my flying tripod. I no longer fly planes but flying a drone 9 (positioning my tripod) is the next best thing and I marvel when I see on my 4K computer screen how exponentially beautiful Bermuda is when seen from the air. As is readily apparent, I'm fascinated with how Bermuda sits in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean and how that ocean permeates Bermuda through the inlets, harbors, sounds, creeks, coves and beaches.

Any of my photographs or videos can be purchased.
